1. Slows Down Aging And Makes Skin GlowWe have already seen how red wine slows down the aging of your body and brain. Well, it also works well in keeping your skin young.

A glass of red wine a day can make your skin glow and cuts the risk of precancerous skin lesions. In fact, researchers predict that skin creams with resveratrol could be the next big thing in the cosmetic industry.Red wine can also restore your skin’s original glow. The polyphenols in the wine can prevent cell oxidation that ages the skin. Also, the antioxidant properties of resveratrol work exceedingly well against the oxidative stress the skin cells are quite often subjected to. This antioxidant is so potent that it is now being researched on for its ability to prevent skin cancer and other dangerous skin ailments.The resveratrol in red wine also protects the skin from the harmful UV-induced effects.

2. Fights AcneThe resveratrol in red wine can slow down the growth of bacteria that cause acne, as per a recent study. It also inhibits keratinocyte proliferation, which can cause acne lesions.The results were particularly effective when acne sufferers, along with a glass of red wine, also went for a topical treatment with benzoyl peroxide. Combining resveratrol and benzoyl peroxide could offer prolonged antibacterial effects on the acne bacteria.

3. Treats SunburnDid you know that sunburn can occur in just 20 minutes but can take as long as 6 hours to show up? This means, you could be sunburnt without even realizing it. And guess what – this is the biggest risk factor in the onset of skin cancer. But worry not – as rubbing red wine on the affected areas can ease sunburn.The flavonoids in red wine prevent the skin from forming reactive oxygen species, compounds that react with UV rays and cause sunburn. This does not mean you can ditch your sunscreen altogether. Continue using your sunscreen, but also have a sip of red wine now and then.

“The day she realised, it was not about the world but was all about her, she grew the wings. The day she understood she was not answerable to any of them who always blamed and pointed her, she had the fire blazing in her eyes. She raised and soared towards the sky. The whole world looked at her in awe and wished if only they could be her. She was not confined to be on the ground anymore. She had the wings of fire and she left a trail everywhere she went, for other to follow.”― Akshau Vasu
